        Ctrl-F2 is the default shortcut for adding a blue dot on the line the cursor is on.

          By “highlight”, I assume you mean “select”, like what is accomplished by triple-clicking a line. Unfortunately, triple-click is not macro-recordable, and there is no single “scintilla command” that you can assign a shortcut to (that I am aware of).

          However, using Scintilla command IDs, you can craft your own macro:

          • Edit %AppData%\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml * *
          • Insert the following into the <Macros> section
                <Macro name="HomeShiftEnd" Ctrl="no" Alt="no" Shift="no" Key="0">
                    <Action type="0" message="2312" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
                    <Action type="0" message="2315" wParam="0" lParam="0" sParam="" />
                </Macro>
            
          • Save.
          • Restart Notepad++

          Now you have a macro called “HomeShiftEnd” which will do what i think you want. You can assign a keyboard shortcut to that, just like any macro.
